In this article, research is aimed at studying the quality and safety of non-traditional raw materials for the production of ethyl alcohol. Solving problems related to the environmental situation, and the final product, the cost and quality of which fully meets the requirements of consumers and determines its competitiveness, are essential criteria for the successful operation of the enterprise in a tough market competition. Assessment of the situation in the alcohol industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan shows that the main raw materials in the production of ethanol are various types of grain crops, the leading place is given to wheat and rye. Grain resources are widely used multifunctional raw materials, which leads to competition with other consumers, as a result of which distilleries may experience difficulties in supplying raw materials. In General, the alcohol industry is characterized by low profitability, significant energy and material consumption, and serious dependence on raw materials. This fact confirms the prospects for expanding the raw material base of the industry by involving non-traditional types of raw materials in production, which makes it possible to level the risks when purchasing raw materials.
